evo1 Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) Just being having a look at this and at the start there was a issue with the mini only playing the 64 games on the system but there's being a software update and now you can play games via usb stick, only that joystick doesn't look up to much. also a review by Metal Jesus Rocks on the U.S. one, but should be pretty much the same over here. No doubt Reg has one knocking about? Also a link to there facebook page. https://en-gb.facebook.com/THEC64computer/ Edited December 11, 2018 by evo1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 Joysticks are crap, the securing screw in the shaft is far too short and any heavy handedness on playing with the stick will cause it snap off in your hands ( (C) 2018 Carry on Retro Gamer ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 A few others have been found to work. I kept finding that because they have mapped the small triangle button on top of the base to fire that you kept pressing it by accident when moving the stick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene02 Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 That’s the thing with all these retro mini reboots. It’s all about getting the product out quickly to cash in on the very popular ‘retro’ scene, the products get little thought unfortunately. Just an android device running an emulator. This isn’t a terrible unit with the latest fix but the joystick is pretty crap and feels cheap. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
